    How & what pistol do you carry concealed?

    Caught me in a transition as my department is going from .45 to 9mm, and my 642 broke last week. Typically when it isn't too hot, I carry a Glock 19 with a TLR1 in a safariland ALS paddle, usually with a spare magpul 21 rounder support side. Depending on other conditions, I AIWB the 19 without...

    Fuel Injectors - why they fail

    The injectors on my old 1996 LT4 Vette did not like old gas. If I let it sit for more than a few weeks I would get misfires and have to hit it with sea foam. I believe the injector stayed full of fuel or something....

    3 valve 5.4

    Team- I am looking to change the oil in my F250 for the winter. I have 10w40 in it now, in accordance with the OASIS message from Ford. It is quieter and runs well. I am considering a synthetic HDEO for the winter, either a 10w-30 or a 5w-40 for better cold starting and flow. I am leaning...

    ammo design and performance criteria

    I am going to state my opinion based on three people I have seen shot with 9mm, all of them FMJ. Two were dead. One guy absolutely thought he was going to die, and was done fighting, although he certainly lived. I agree new bullet design is awesome, and has come a long way. My opinion based on...

    Mobil 1 and Dodge

    Mobil One is overkill for a Dodge truck. Dodge would look pretty foolish saying SN Mobil One synthetic is not up to the job.

    Considering gear change

    Team- I am thinking of swapping gears on my F250. We are going from a 4000lb dry weight, 21' camper to a 5500lb dry weight (6500 all up planning factor) Wild Wood 28'. I am currently running 3.73s (factory). I just ordered an addco rear sway bar, (truck had none), and am upgrading the shocks...

    Opinions, 2015 Jeep Patriot.

    I had a 2010 patriot 2.4L 4x4. It got decent gas mileage, the AWD system dominated the snow. I went up some mountains in Gatlinburg in the snow with no problems. Just get some good tires. I pulled an 1800lb trailer with it (I added the oil cooler and tow package myself), it pulled very well. No...

    New Push Mower

    I love my GCV 160. If the chute isnt clogged, it has never bogged down. I just run 30HD in it and added a fuel filter. This is my fifth season with it.
